Ol joe want legendary bear guide used a double rifle down on kodiak when guiding clients. Here we are worried about 5 in the mag, here is a novel idea learn to shoot better, and make the first shot count. Pass me a model 70 classic in a 30/06 with either 180 partition or 200gr partition for kodiak i will use a model 70 stainless classic in a 375 H&H.
When I hunted in the Yukon, my host required that I hunt with an empty chamber for safety sake. I had no problem with that but was down by one round count in my 375 compared to his 9.3x62.
With an empty magazine, it was a real advantage to have the smaller case and thus more in the magazine.
